Cherry Cheesecake Muffins are such an irresistible treat. They’re studded with fresh cherries and filled with sweetened cream cheese!Fresh cherries are such a treat this time of year, that I knew I get a little excited about all the things I want to make with them.Of course, cherries and cheesecake have such a delicious history together. I have my own history with it, too, as one of my early favorite desserts was that cherry cheesecake made from a box mix. In celebration of those flavors, I happily share with you these Cherry Cheesecake Muffins.Somehow simply calling these “muffins” just doesn’t seem adequate. They are so much more than that. They may seem unassuming from the outside. But, bite into one and you’ll find a lovely little pocket of sweet cream cheese filling.While I usually associate muffins with breakfast or brunch, I’d be more than happy to enjoy one of these most any time of day. After just one bite, I think you’ll wholeheartedly agree.Besides the cherries and cream cheese, I love all the oats in these muffins, too. It gives them a slightly chewy and more hearty texture that works well to hold the cherries and the filling. All of that good stuff together makes for a batch of pretty irresistible muffins.
